Contractions

Exactly how right on are they usually? If one time they are say 10 then the next is 12 and once its 9 but most of the time it is 10, is that normal? Yes I know I still have time to get down to 5 min apart but am I on my way? or is this just be braxton hicks?

Wish I could tell you. My BH are always like 3-4 apart.

My opinion only, I would say 10 , 12, and 9 are a pretty decent pattern. Now if you had one then 10 minutes later another then 45 minutes later another and no real regular cycle I would not be quite as concered. Better safe then sorry.

Could be the beginning. I think it is somewhat normal early on for them to be a few minutes different and eventually they will become more consistent and closer together.

I really hope so I want to get this kid out of me! But I also am using a digital clock without seconds... so it's not perfect for timing.

these were mine the day before I had Abigail

My labor started out that way with both kids. It took days for this one to progress to actual labor from that, but I think that's just my body sucking.

Working on it.   I'm in the hospital and waiting for active labor.

Why are you there before active labor?

My water broke last afternoon and I need antibiotics for group strep b. I was kind of hoping things would be moving a bit faster than this, but eh.

well at least you know he's coming. Everyone I'd having their babies, it's not fair! I contracted all night and still nothing. Now they aren't as painful.
